Speaking Engagement
This one-day conference, organized by the Energy Workforce & Technology Council, will provide expert perspectives from the industry’s top operational, risk and legal professionals—including Frost Brown Todd Partner Ken Bullock—on the most pressing challenges facing energy and oilfield services companies. From resource gaps and labor shortages to regulatory shifts and more, conference attendees will learn why risk management has evolved from a traditional support function into a strategic frontline imperative. Note: Bullock will discuss the hallmarks of effective incident response planning as part of the conference’s “Are You Ready? Incident Response & Privilege Protection” panel.
